Private Well ResourcesApproximately
14-15 million households in the United States rely on a private, household
well for drinking water each year, and more than 90,000 new wells
are drilled throughout the United States each year. Contamination
of a private well is not only the concern of the household served
by the well, but also the households using other nearby water supplies
and the aquifer that the water is drawn from. If you have a private
well, it is important to know when to test and how to maintain your
well properly to ensure your family's health. Fact Sheets These fact sheets provide information on contaminants that can be found in the water you drink from your well. U.S. Environmental Protection
